THAT?S THE WAY IT GOES
Wh[C]en you?re in the valley of des[Em]pair
[C]Feels as though you always will be t[Em]here F
Let your heart be strong,[F] though the road is long,
there?s a way to [Bb]go[G/C]
[C]Soon enough the path will start to r[Em]ise,
[C]To mountains high and clear and sunny ski[Em]es.
The way will take you hi[F]gh, the way will take you l[F]ow,
That?s the way it [Bb]goes[G/C]
T[C]hat?s the way it goes s[Em]ometimes, th[C]ings are going to work out
[Em]fine.
Rain will fall and t[F]hen sun will shine a[Fm]gain,
that?s the way it go[C]es
[C]And when the raging waters rush your w[Em]ay,
[C]And it feels like you won?t last another [Em]day.
[F] [F]
[G/C]Let your heart be brave, the calming of the waves is nearer than you know
[C]Stormy days will be a distant d[Em]ream f[C]loating in a still and quiet s[Em]tream
The river will run f[F]ast, the river will run [F]slow, that?s the way it [Bb]goes[G/C]
CHORUS
[F]Life?s a mystery and [Fm]we don?t always see God?s han[G]d
H[F]e?s the Lord of love and wonder, o[Fm]ne day we will unders[G/C]tand
